    He accused “oligarchs” like “Klaus Schwab and Bill Gates” of being in control of the country. In a series of outlandish comments, he claimed they are “arresting everybody” and that "our country is captured.

    “They are so used to wielding American power, of the country they’ve hijacked, like hijackers who take over an airplane,” Jones said. “They’re flying the American airplane into the building—like 9/11—that is Russia. And so I’m trying to stop that.”

      Back in the day when I listened to Alex Jones and David Icke for sheer entertainment value, had Above Top Secret as my homepage, when the conspiracy scene was filled with potheads like GTA:SA’s The Truth and other "expand your mind (chemically if preferred) X-Files lovers instead of an endless stream of racist little piglets.

      When conspiracy theories were about UFOs and geopolitical humbuggery by politicians, rather than a bunch of manchildren being angry they aren’t allowed to be as racist as they want to be.
